Lake Catherine State Park Near Hot Springs, Arkansas

We moved from the Crater of Diamonds to Lake Catherine State park today.  This was a  70 mile drive which took nearly two hours (serious two lane hilly roads).

This is a beautiful state park and we have a great site (#44) right on the lake with full hookups.  We are able to pickup all the local channels on our antenna and all of the western arc satellites on our satellite dish (we are using the portable dish so that we can get all available channels for the debut of NFL football).  We are getting 4 bars on Verizon Wireless and LTE = 4.69/11.49.

We went into Hot Springs this evening.  The downtown area is nice and Bathhouse Row is quite impressive.  It must have been “bike night” because there were hundreds of motorcycles all over the downtown area.

We ended up driving out near the interstate and eating at the Bleu Monkey Grill.  The food was great.  I had a Cuban sandwich and Beth had pasta.

After dinner we returned to the camp site and enjoyed our great view of the lake.
